    I suppose it never occurred to Nero (why does his name want me to back up things to DVD?), when he found himself over 100 years in his past, to go to Romulas and tell them what's going to happen and tell them to start planning?


    "Hey guys, I'm from your future, don't believe me? Check out my ship, it can kick your whole planets ass. Any way, this planet is hooped in a little over 120 years so maybe you want to start preparing to move. Here's the number for UHaul."

    "I think if a script's well-written, it sparks your imagination, and you almost like start directing the film in your head, with ideas."


    Yes. Ideas. They're those things that are like headaches, only with pictures.


    Seriously, what else is going to be in your head? "You almost like start directing the film in your head, with kittehz."

    SPOILER ALERT


    You should give a hint to the fans who want to have a pure, empty mind when they go see Star Trek that some of your articles contain spoilers!

    In reply to Countdown Offers Much More Than A Prelude To Trek Movie
    It was a good series, but it does have it's problems:


    If Nero's ship is strong enough to toast entire fleets of 24th century ships, how in the hell is the 22nd century Enterprise supposed to dent the thing? That would be like shooting spit wads at the USS Ronald Reagan.


    At the end of the series, everything is still as it should be after both ships travel back in time, so obviously whatever changes Nero made to the timeline weren't all that drastic, and nothing worse then the changes Sisko or Kirk made in their occasional trips to yester-year.

    @David Rodriguez: So, the TPB has been released? I've tried to figure out the release date, and every site I visit seems to have a different one. I may just order it through my local comic shop...it'll be faster than going through Amazon.


    (I'm glad that you liked it. I'm excited to see how it turned out.)

    @miss_so_unknown: I was surprised to see it so quickly. I pre-ordered it a couple months ago when I couldn't find issue #1 at any of my local comic shops. Also, I got it for around $12-13 rather than the &17.99 cover price.

    @David Rodriguez: @JustMeJosh: Thank you both. I went to Barnes and Noble tonight and they had one copy in the Graphic Novel section. Blowing my weekly budget was totally worth having a copy of this.

    (My comic shop was only up to issue #2 last week...I guess they're a little behind.)
